Bang Bang Chicken Sandwich
I was looking through some old cook books recently and found a chicken recipe called “bang bang” chicken. The book said it is sold by street vendors in China who summon customers by banging two sticks together (bang bang!).

Cilantro Chutney
Cilantro chutney or bhorta is one of my favorite condiments to serve with Bengali dishes. It’s easy, fast, and packs a delicious punch.

Creamy Taco Sauce
I’ve eaten tons of tacos. I can’t count how many I’ve had over the years. From fine restaurants to “hole in the wall” type places. Some tacos are bland, flavorless, and dry. Others are really good! I’ve tried numerous attempts at making sauces that enhance the flavor of tacos. After researching many sites and books,…

Chipotle Chili Pepper Sauce
My family likes to eat sandwiches and salads that are both healthy and flavorful. We don’t really get excited by standard salad dressings from the store. My son and I like to come up with a sauce or salad dressing according to what other ingredients we happen to be using on a given day. For…

Potato Medley with Honey Sauce
The inspiration for this dish came from the Covid-19 pandemic. As it started people panicked and hoarded so many things.

Coriander Chutney (Zhoug Sauce)
Several years ago we were invited to a friend’s house for a delicious taco meal. She gave us so many toppings and salsas to try. One of my favorites was green and fairly spicy. It turned out to be from Trader Joe’s and called Zhoug sauce.

Tahini Sauce
Over the years, I have bought many jars of Tahini paste from the store, which is basically just toasted sesame seeds with oil. I buy this because I like to combine it with spices, lime juice, and other ingredients to make a Tahini sauce to use as a dip, to make hummus, or to drizzle…

Marinara Sauce
Have you ever felt disappointed after buying a jar of expensive pasta sauce to serve? I certainly have! I’ve found two pasta sauces that haven’t disappointed me so far. Prego Traditional Italian Sauce and Trader Giotto’s Tomato Basil Marinara are both great bases to start with for your sauce. I, however, like to add my own twists to take…
